"Horse Camp" by Nicole Helget and Nate LeBoutillier

Horse Camp was not what I expected at all, but then that was the same way the twins in the book felt when they were sent to their Uncle's farm when their mom had to go to jail and their dad went off to start a new church.  Their mom called it "horse camp" to make it sound like fun, but it only had two old mean horses with mostly pigs and chickens.  This is simply a YA novel about getting along with people and not judging others.  The most exciting part for me was when the tornado hit and Percy and his friend took cover in a culvert.

I didn't care for this one much but it was a quick read so went ahead and finished it.  Basically Christians are portrayed in this book as hypocrites, self-righteous and judgmental.  I do not recommend this one.

Tuesday Teasers: 4 Today

Gerard's:

My breath caught in my chest.  I started to feel dizzy.  I had counted on no one here knowing, or at least no one talking about it.

From page 11 of Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira.

"We're trying to get you out of this.  A girl is dead, and everyone wants to hold you and your friends accountable for what happened."

From page 8 of Tease by Amanda Maciel.  (Found this book recommendation in Entertainment Weekly.)

Karen's:

Though he rejected the role of scholar, he amazed his high school mates by bluffing his way through assignments, particularly book reports.  He never read any of the designated books but made up his own titles, authors, and plots.  What's more, he got away with it.

From page 33 of I Promised My Dad by Cheryl Landon Wilson with Jane Scovell.  

Some sinful things are happening that require your immediate attention.  I pray really hard to keep the evil at bay, but I am only twelve and am not sure that I have your strength as a holy person.

From page 67 of Horse Camp by Nicole Helget and Nate LeBoutellier.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should  Be Reading. Anyone can play along, so I thought  I  would play for fun! Just do the following

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page (well, we cheat and choose specific ones)
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on  that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away!   You don’t  want  to  ruin the  book for others!)
• Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can  add the book to their TBR  Lists  if they  like your teaser.   

Happy Reading!
